“How Many, Baby?”

-For Katie my love

Tyler R. Martin

 How many syllables 
To describe my love for you, 
How hard must I try 
When I know you're feeling blue?
How much should I sweetly dote 
To really let you know 
That I love it when you wear  
My jacket, 
Hold my hand and not let go? 

How many syllables
Until you truly understand, 
I need you every waking moment, 
You’re my every thought,
 My every plan. 
I love your each and every atom,
You’re my gorgeous girl,
And I'll always be your man.
How many syllables 
Before you choose to believe,
You’re my darling little doll 
And I swear I'll never leave. 
How many syllables
 Until it is too clear, 
Now I'm yours forever, 
You have nothing left 
To fear...
